Although the service is still some of the worst for public transportation that I’ve ridden in the entire world (literally) at least you can finally freaking manage your pass(es) online. It’s been three years in the making, any other organization could have completed this in three months probably, but you can finally tie in your unnecessarily large credit card sized piece of plastic which surrounds a tiny RFID chip (the card could be like the size of a quarter) to an online account. At least they didn’t do a half ass offering of services online (seriously) and you can manage all aspects of multiple cards. Add value, set up recurring monthly pass purchases, see what’s left on your card(s) etc. Now, if only the T could run on time, not crash as much, and extend the service they’ve been promising since the start of the Big Dig, we might have a proper public transit system.

I hate the Boston T system with a burning passion. I think the T is solely responsible for my move to the North End where I can avoid public transportation at all costs.
T=hell. For personal clarification, see Facebook. I love when you get on the over crowded Green line at one of the back entrances and they yell at you to push through 160 people to pay a $1.70. Aren’t you supposed to be focusing on texting your gf mr. conductor man and not my fare.?
